We’ve Moved!

Life Lesson

The eight local students who
survived the sinking of the Sea Diamond near the island of
Santorini gathered in a conference room of the Kitsap Sun last
week. They were joined by one of their teachers. (Another teacher
and a grandmother were unavailable.) As interesting to me as their
stories about the shipwreck itself, was their thoughts on what
they’d learned.

None seemed too shaken a week after the ordeal, but their calm
and the collective sense of humor hid the newfound perspective many
of them shared. It sounds cliche, but they came back with a new
respect for their own lives and their relationships in comparison
to their material stuff. They witnessed a leader and they
discovered leadership within themselves.

We are still working on another online presentation about the
event. I’ll let you know when it posts.
